Summary

"Betsy Hearne, a children's librarian and children's book review editor, discusses children's literature and its uses, surveying everything from picture books, popup books, classics, and books for beginning readers to young adult titles, poetry, folktales, and factual books. An annotated list of recommended titles accompanies each chapter."--BOOK JACKET. "Undergirded by Hearne's own passion for inspiring a love for reading in children, Choosing Books for Children offers sensible advice not only on selecting titles but also on using books to strengthen relations between parent and child."--BOOK JACKET.
